Lentils, Anyone?

I decided to make lentil soup for a cold, winter day. When I got home from the grocery store (Whole Foods Market, in case you can’t tell) and opened the pantry, I discovered I already had lentils. A whole collection of lentils.

Six bags of lentils

Lots and lots of lentils

Good thing I like lentil soup. Maybe a collection of lentils is a Lentil Lode? Laden with lentils. A leap of lentils. A line of lentils. A lentil loop. A lentil luau. A lentil lyntle. (Made that one up!)

Ribbed Bowl, Sketch 036

I chose this bowl to sketch because I was looking for an object that had mostly lines in (on) it, as opposed to areas that were defined by shading. What did I discover? The rim and the ribs are defined by shading, not lines. And proportions? What proportions?
